The TIE Fighter spans across 5.3 m wide, 4.8 m long and weighs almost 1.4 tons making it a heavyweight Galactic Empire starfighter model. Showing that what Germans are capable of apart from their classy cars of course, this DIY project took a lot of precision and hard work of 1000 man hours to come to life.
